phoSim ./configure issue

Issue #16 resolved
Former user created an issue

Hi,

I was referred here by the LSST community site in response to this issue that I originally posted on their forums. I hope it's appropriate for me to create this ticket here:

I recently came across PhoSim and would like to give it a try. However, when I try to install the software using ./configure before making, I get the following error: "bash: ./configure: /bin/tcsh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory"

Not sure what's causing the issue. I can install other packages using ./configure and make without error (such as cfitsio and fftw independently, for example). So far I've tried this with Linux (Mint, specifically) and Windows (via cygwin), and I get the same error.

Any insight or help on this issue would be appreciated, thanks!

(As a side note: Windows 10 apparently doesn't like the phosim/data/aux directory; if I try to remove this directory, I get "this file/folder is no longer in this directory" errors, which are hard to get around)

    hmm, this is a difficult one. seems related to your setup (path?). can you just type "csh" or "tcsh" at the prompt? could be related to an error in your .bashrc or .cshrc file?
